Hello!
I was going to try to use the slope formula, and solve for the y-intercept, but the given graph is hard to distinguish accurate ordered pairs. So, we will find the equation with the graph instead.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is negative. Also, we can also determine that each square represents one unit. So, the y-intercept has to be -3/2 or -1.5. That removes the choices A and C because the y-intercept is in between the values of -1 and -2.
Secondly, the graph has a positive slope. Why? When the x-values increase, the y-values increase. Also, when the x-values decrease, the y-values also decrease. This tells us that the graph has a positive slope (this doesn't remove any choices, but it helps to distinguish which graph has a positive or negative slope).
Finally, we know that if the slope is greater than one, then it is steeper (m > 1). But, if it's less than one, then it becomes less steep (0 < m < 1). Looking at the graph, the graph looks relatively steep (graphing the equations y = 5/7 x - 3/2 and y = 7/5x - 3/2 can help you see the differences between them).
Therefore, the equation of the line given by the graph is choice D, y = 7/5 x − 3/2.
The difference between speeds, during the first 20 minutes and last 20 minutes, would be 4.3 miles. The key word here is difference which automatically tells us to subtract. In this case you would subtract 6.8 miles, the last 20 minutes, by 2.5 miles, the first 20 minutes. In the end, getting 4.3 miles. Hope this helps! :)
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii have noooooooooooo idea. good luck
1.8 is the higher number. The square root of 2 starts with 1.4
m is 42. i just guessed so i hope you get it right
